  • But the vaccines literally have zero to do with the US administration. Why would the president inform your medical decision making process? With the exception of J&J (which I know nothing of), they were developed and manufactured outside the US.

    In Australia people also have issues. They are calling it vaccine fatigue here, where people aren’t getting their boosters and also aren’t getting their flu shots. People are getting tired of vaccines. I admit I’m behind on mine. I had my 4th shot last April, and you are meant to have a booster every 6 months. So far I’ve had 2x Pfizer, 1x Novavax/Nuvaxovid and 1x Moderna. I’ve also had covid 3 times. Every shot (except Novavax surprisingly) makes me have minimum 2 days off in bed/on the couch with symptoms and I find myself putting it off.



  • If I go to sleep now I’m going to wake up to a toy being shoved in my face and “play with me mummy” or a screaming kid from a nightmare. If I stay up an extra hour I get to be by myself for an extra hour.

    Either way I’ll be tired.

    Not much choice there, I’ll stay up and be more sleep deprived.



  • Can’t shop at Cotton On anymore.

    Would you like to buy the single use plastic water to provide safe drinking water to people? No. How about make a donation to starving kids? No. How about buying these socks to support shelter for some country? No. Are you a member? No. Would you like to be a member? No.

    Would you… “NO. JUST LET ME PAY FOR MY T SHIRT”




  • Our pickup, you can push the gear stick left and it becomes basically manual with no clutch. You tell it to change gears and it will except when it says “no” ie high speeds and you ask to change down a gear when it’s high revs in current gear, it beeps at you and won’t change.

    We’ve found that more than adequate for towing a 19ft caravan.




  • Maybe it’s different in the USA, but I’ve travelled a lot and don’t think I ever remember a long haul flight without multiple babies and young children. It’s just a fact of travelling.

    I recently did a 16hr flight solo and the other 3 seats in my row of 4 were parents and a toddler.

    That’s just part of flying and you should plan for it (noise cancelling headphones, sleeping tablets, ear plugs).
